Amy threw up his hands in despair. "You fellows are so stuck on yourselves," he said finally, "that I suppose you'll be expecting Robey to discharge the 'varsity and let you play against Claflin!" "He might do worse, I dare say," returned Clint carelessly. "Might do Here, I can't stand this! I'm going out! Where's my cap?" And Amy fled.
The school displayed far more interest in Saturday's game than in any other on the schedule except, of course, the final conflict with Claflin, and displayed a confidence rather out of proportion to the probabilities. For Chambers had played six games so far this Fall, to Brimfield's five, and had won five of them and tied the other, a record superior to the Maroon-and-Grey's.
Claflin sent in a substitute right end and Coach Robey put Corcoran in for Kendall. Claflin punted to midfield and Corcoran made one yard through the enemy's centre. An off-side play by the Blue gave Brimfield five yards and took the ball to the Blue's forty. Still gained two at left tackle and the half ended with the pigskin on Claflin's thirty-eight yards, the score 0 to 0.
Someone's boot had rubbed the skin from his left cheek and the blood had caked there, well mixed with dirt, until he looked quite villainous. The 'varsity scored twice by straight football and once by the use of tricks which were designed to outwit Claflin a week later. The second managed a field-goal from the fifteen yards.
"That man is a private detective," Mr. Wynne informed her. "His name is Sutton, and he is only one of thirty or forty whose sole business in life, right now, is to watch me, to keep track of and follow any person who comes here. He saw you enter, and you couldn't escape him going out. There's another on the roof of the house next door. His name is Claflin.
At one o'clock Lieutenant Claflin changed his coat and went down-town to luncheon, and came back still more content and in feeling with the season, and lighted another cigar. But just as he had settled himself comfortably he heard Corporal Goddard's step on the stairs and a less determined step behind him.
Bartlett had an intense interest in every particular; and what Diana failed to remember, her questions brought out. "And how do you like the new minister?" "Haven't you seen him yet?" "Nay. He hain't been down my way yet. In good time he will. He's had sick folks to see arter, Joe told me; old Jemmy Claflin, and Joe Simmons' boy; and Mis' Atwood, and Eliza."
"There's a matter I want to discuss with you," responded Mr. Wynne. "It may be that we can reach some sort of of an agreement about this, and if you don't mind " Claflin went up the steps, Mr. Wynne ushered him in and closed the door behind him. Three minutes later Mr.
The teams doffed blankets once more and again faced each other on the Blue's twenty-four yards. Claflin hoped for nothing better, perhaps, than a no-score result, for her attack had several times failed to get under way and her opponent seemed to be gaining strength rather than losing it. Carmine, acting under instructions from Coach Robey, now opened up his bag of tricks.
At a given signal a wreath of laurel descended from above and fitted about his noble brow. The score: Thayer, 98; Claflin, 0!" "Just the same," muttered Clint, when he had stopped laughing, "I'm scared. And I do wish Robey had let me alone." "Coward!" taunted Amy. "Quitter! Youth of chilly extremities!" "I'll have to learn new signals, too. And that's a beast of a job, Amy." "Sluggard!
